The same people also have a tool called nLite, which does the same stuff for Windows XP. It works well for stuff like slipstreaming SATA drivers, but I've had a few problems when I used more advanced features like removing un-needed Windows components -- when installing stuff like.NET from Windows Update, Windows required me to put in the XP install disc, which obviously is non-workable for user desktops.
To be fair, that was an older version (1.3?), and they've had a couple of releases since then.
I would ordinarily agree completely, but some of my users are required to use 3rd-party websites (which we have no control over) that require bug-for-bug compatibility with IE6. Until the lazy bastards responsible for those sites fix them, those users are stuck.
I can't feel sorry for someone still running Windows 98. There haven't been any security updates for it in years, and a new computer capable of at least running XP is only a couple hundred dollars.
Maybe if their line-of-business app is so poorly written that it won't run in XP even with compatibility mode...

Interesting! I'd never heard of Hereward the Wake before, and I like to think I'm literate in history.
Is that Dominican-the-country or Dominican-the-Catholic-religious-order?
Well, no. I almost never need those files and when I do, they live on a fileshare.
Keep firing, assholes!

It was hit by a chair.
Yeah, how wide is the stance of your WAP's antennae?
The opposing argument is that if a candidate simply doesn't like the result, he could keep demanding a recount until it turns out the "right" way.
Is this like The Decider running on "compassionate conservatism" during his first presidential campaign?
You must work for the DMV.
So far as I know, Internet Explorer doesn't support XHTML. Since it's the majority browser, there you go.
Hans, settle down.
Interesting UI concept. Which browser does tab-detaching?

"There are many like it, but this one is yours."
So... anyone care to tell me why I got modded troll?
Who first reads that word as something to do with electric charge?
I'm certain I've heard of one version of Oregon Trail with this type of bug.
Shut up.

That depends on what "is" is.
Screw moonbuggies and a lunar lander, cool as they are.
I want BOOBIES!
How many embedded 8-bit microprocessors are hosting a Unix with a 32-bit time_t?
Thought so.
Hey! I remember you!
I was... two or three years old and played Space Invaders on the 2600 with my dad. This must have been 1981 or 1982.
